Summary:
The city of Ogdensburg, New York is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools and 2 high schools, serving students from grades K-12. The schools in this district demonstrate a mix of academic strengths and areas for improvement, with one standout elementary school and a historically successful high school.
Madill School is the academic standout, with consistently higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math compared to the district and state averages, particularly in the early elementary grades. In contrast, Ogdensburg Free Academy, the largest high school in the district, has seen a decline in its academic performance, with proficiency rates below the state average, especially in Math.
The schools in Ogdensburg have a predominantly white student population, with minimal racial diversity. While the district invests heavily in education, with high per-student spending, this investment has not translated into consistently strong academic outcomes across all schools and grade levels. The district also faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, which may be an area of focus for improvement. Overall, the analysis of Ogdensburg's schools reveals both strengths, such as the excellence of Madill School, and opportunities for the district to address areas of underperformance and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
